Abstract

A bucket wheel bearing assembly adapted to be attached to a bucket wheel support structure for rotationally supporting bucket wheel shaft to the support structure comprises bucket wheel bearing means to be disposed on the bucket wheel shaft, a bearing box situated outside the bucket wheel bearing means and having a central projection with slanted side faces at the entire outer surface thereof and two side walls, the slanted side faces extending radially outwardly toward the central projection from the both side walls, locking means to be disposed alongside of the central projection of the bearing box, and a plurality of fastening means for connecting the locking means around the bearing box, some of the fastening means connecting the locking means and the bearing box to the support structure. The bearing box includes at least a first bearing half and a second bearing half so that the first and second bearing halves, when assembled together, cover the bucket wheel bearing means entirely at the inside surface thereof. The locking means includes inner slanted faces to abut against the slanted side faces of the bearing box so that when the locking means is connected to the bearing box,…
